To all whom it may concern:

Be it linown that l, ln'rnn M. KLING, ot Pittsburg, Northside, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania` a ritizen ofthe United ,L -States, have invented certain new and useful linproveinents in Passenger-(jars, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reterence being had to the accompanyingV drawings` in which like characters refer to like parts, and in which# Figi-ire l is an end elevation of the seat structure in passenger car, showing also portions ot the car framing; Fig. 2, is a vertical section on the line '2-2, Fig. l, and Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line Ilml, Fig. l.

:in object of the present invention is to provide a seat structure of o'reaty sim licitv rigidity and strength or stitl'ness and at toe saine time retainingneatness in appearance.

Referring'now in detail to the drawings, i represents a portion otf the -oar undertraine7 2 a portion ot' the car side structure, 3 one ot a series of seat postspt the seat cross-bearers. Side struc lu're 2 and under structure l are connected by angles 5. Cross-bearers l slant dowmvardly toward and are riveted to side structure 2 by down wardly turned flanges '-tA. Cross-bearers t are also riveted to the upper ends of posts 3.

t3 is an intermediate sill connecting the upper ends of the several posts 3'.

T is an outer sill connecting` the outer ends ot cross-bea17ers` Li. Sills (l and 'T are both angular insertion. Sills (3 are connected to cross-bearers .4 by downwardly extendii'lg flanges el on crossbearers 4t.

8 is the usual seat end panel, ol' suitable shape, riveted to crosssbearers ft and through nieans of angles t? to the undertraine l.

linel S langjed vertically at its inner edge at the. side et the car. Angles 9 likewise support. the post 3, as they are riveted thereto.

10 is a reinforcing or finishing border vfor the panel 8, and consists in piping or tubing' split to receive the edge o'. panel 8, said piping' or tubing being riveted or otherwise suitably secured to the panel S.

'ihrough -ineans of angles 9 and 5 theseat and' side structure is elevated above the horizontal plane of the underframe, so that a composition or cement {lnoringniay be applied and yet the seat structure or portionsot' the car superstructure may be yremoved without. disturbing said flooring. The seat structure, thus shown, is simple and forms a `rood truss and has a finished appearance.
